Chapter 7

Han Jisung

"Ji, come with us!" I rolled my eyes as I looked back at Felix.

"What for?"

"Just come with us!" He grabbed me by my arm. I sighed before letting him drag me.

"I know you really can't say no to me!" He cheered as we walked.

"Don't mention it." I threatened him. He just giggled making me roll my eyes again.

"Where are we going?" I heard Jeongin asked from the back. Felix turned his head around while walking. He still has his arm wrapped around mine.

"Somewhere fun!"

"Why are we here?" Jisung asked coldly.

Where are we?

We're in a nearby arcade. Jeongin told me that he wanted to have fun for our day out so I bring them here.

"Wow..." I heard someone exclaimed behind me.

The arcade is so beautiful. Aesthetically beautiful!

"What are you waiting for? Come on! Let's buy the tokens!" Jeongin squealed as he ran in front of us. He dragged me by my arm.

I laughed at his cuteness. I looked back and I saw how Jisung groaned as he forced himself to trail behind us.

I smiled as I saw him walking. Even tho he's just forcing himself, it's still an achievement for me that I made him join us.

We all bought our tokens separately. Jeongin immediately ran to the doll claw machine after receiving his tokens.

Hyunjin and Seungmin, being the couple they are, walked away together towards a basketball game leaving me and Jisung behind with each other.

"Where do you want to play?" I asked him while counting my tokens.

"Guns." He deadpanned. I was shocked to hear him answer my question without me repeating it. My smile widened.

Without any word being spoken, I dragged him to the zombie shooting game.

"Stop dragging me! It's annoying!" He shoved my hand harshly away from his arm. He then went to slide the token to the machine.

I did what he did. We both played, shooting every zombie that we see on the screen. After minutes, we finished the game. We put our initials after the screen showed that we won first place.

"That was fast." He said beside me. His cold face wore off revealing his normal, innocent face that I rarely see from him.

I was amazed at how innocent he looks. He looks like a kid trapped inside a teenager Vampire's body.

"Come on! Let's play some more!" I grinned when he doesn't contest when I drag him to the next arcade game that has guns.

I was about to excitedly slide a coin into the machine when I heard a familiar squeal. I looked behind and I saw Jeongin. I looked around and I saw almost all of the humans playing inside the arcade is looking at him.

I was confused as to why they were looking at him but my eyes widened when he turned around.

His ears can be faintly seen! I panicked because I know that they're staring at him because of his ears. I immediately thought of a segue way.

"Jeongin!" I called him out. I can feel Jisung's stare but I just focused on my little mission.

"Oh, hyung! Why?" I automatically smiled after he looked at me with a big smile. The energy he radiates!

He walked towards us, waddling.

"Where did you get that fox ears?" I asked him. I looked at him. He immediately realized. His eyes widened.

"F-fox e-ears?" I smiled at him telling him to stop panicking and that it's alright, that I got this.

"Where did you get it? I want one too!" I fake whined. He giggled. He was about to speak when someone spoke from behind.

"Felix, I'm gonna borrow this cutie right here, okay?" I saw the couple from behind. I smiled before nodding.

Seungmin pulled Jeongin as they walked, turning in front of an arcade game making them out of my sight.

'Is he alright?'

I looked at Jisung. His voice filled my head.

'Yeah. Seungmin and Hyunjin hyung are with him. He's gonna be alright with those two.'

'Are you sure? We could go back home if he won't be.'

'He's fine. Those two are like his 'parents' so there's nothing to worry about.'

'Alright.'

Jisung looked at the shooting game we picked before sliding a token to the said machine. I repeated what he did.

Is he worried about Jeongin?

My smile reached my ears with the thought. It's so rare to see him like this.

We won first place again in the shooting game. It's reasonable because we were trained about how to handle guns and because it's Jisung's favorite to hold and use guns.

But we don't need guns. We have abilities and besides, we don't have to face battles every now and then.

"What to play next?"

"Let's search for something interesting."

We walked around the arcade side by side. I was looking for some intense and interesting games for Jisung when he pulled me.

I just saw myself inside a small room with a screen in front of me.

A photo booth!

I looked at Jisung. He put a token in the little slot to run the photo booth.

"Don't look at me. Look at the camera." He said without looking at me. I looked at the camera as he instructed.

The picture came out and he made me decorate it. I like the heart aesthetics that I saw so I put it and some cute blushes.

Done.

"Why does your hair looks kind of orange here instead of blonde?" The picture came out. It gave us two copies. Nice.

"I don't know."

I gave him the second copy. He looked at it.

"You look cute." I complimented him while looking at my copy.

"We both look cute."

"Why are they with us again?" I irritatedly asked.

"Stop asking! Just walk!" Someone replied. I quickly glared at Minho.

"I'm not talking to you. Shut your mouth." I demanded while glaring at him sharply and coldly.

He rolled his eyes but he didn't fight back. Good.

"Don't mind it, brother. Calm down." Felix rubbed my arm slightly. I just sighed before walking.

After we came out of the arcade, the four guys that we were within that group project were outside waiting for us.

I was slowly walking in front with them slowly trailing behind, having their own business with each other.

My ears perked up when I heard sharp movements causing a faint gush of wind. I stopped making them stop too.

"Do you hear that, Jeongin?" I asked him since he was a fox. I'm sure he can hear it in some way.

"Y-yeah." He stuttered.

"No need to be scared by me," I stated since I could feel that he's intimidated by me.

"Alright, hyung."

Another gush of wind.

I could feel the others become alert. That gush of wind is hearable even for a human being.

"J-Jis-sung..." I heard someone called me. I sharply turned my head to my side.

"Jimin!" I came to Jimin's side. She immediately fell into the floor when my hands came in contact with her arms.

"J-Jisung! T-they killed m-mom! They killed h-her!" She broke down into tears making me barely understand what she's saying.

I tried reading her mind but because of her overpowering emotion, I can't. I'll just hurt myself and drained my power out. And the outcome of that will never be good.

"What?"

"They killed mom!" I was stunned.

"Who." My eyes darkened.

"H-Han." She barely said between loud sobs.

"Felix."

"Y-yes."

"Hold Jimin."

"O-okay."

I passed Jimin to Felix. I couldn't hold her. I just couldn't.

I might just hurt her because of my anger.

"Jisung..."

"I'm alright."

My eyes were really dark. I turned around, completely forgetting that they were behind us.

"Your eyes... They're violet..." I can recognize Changbin's voice.

"Calm down," I whispered to myself.

Mom.

My eyes watered at the thought of that one single word.

She can't be dead! She can't be!

I shut my eyes closed, trying to calm myself down.

Hatred. Sadness. Regret. Guilt.

That's what I felt inside. And it's not a good combination for me who couldn't control my anger.

"Jimin!" I opened my eyes. I looked back towards Jimin. I saw Youngjae and BamBam running to her.

Youngjae glared at me. I glared at him back.

"Where is my mother?! She can't be dead! I thought you're the one who protected her from inside?!" I snapped. I couldn't control myself anymore upon seeing them.

"I'm sorry." BamBam apologized before bowing.

"It's not our fault if your father is ruthless who doesn't even spare your mother's life. Reproach your father, not us." Youngjae remarked while stroking Jimin's hair without looking at me.

I scoffed as I closed my eyes again. I could feel my hand burning so I tried my hardest at calming myself. I shouldn't be so angry. I might hurt them or even worse, kill them with my ability.

"Calm down, Jisung... Mom's fine... She's... She's in a better place now..."Jimin sob. I sighed before the memories of I and my mom came flashing in my mind.

Why did they have to fucking kill her?!

Why her?!
